Inhaler Recall

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) issued a voluntary Class II recall on April 4, 2017 for three lots of Ventolin® HFA 200D Inhalers from U.S. hospitals, pharmacies, retailers and wholesalers as a precautionary measure. It is not a consumer recall.

The lot numbers are:

6ZP0003

6ZP9944

6ZP9848

A GSK spokesman spoke with AAFA and said the recall is due to some complaints about the overwrap, or pouches containing the inhalers, becoming inflated by leaking from the product. The leaking may cause the inhaler to deliver fewer doses than shown on the dose counter.

Patients are not being told to return the inhalers. If you have a question, call the company's response center: 1-888-825-5249.
